 Jocelyn
Holland's areas of research include comparative literature (French,
Spanish, Portuguese), rhetoric, the philosophy of nature, and German thought
- Goethe and German romanticism, with an emphasis on the intersections
between literature and the history of science. She has written articles
on Goethe and Schlegel and is currently working on a project that explores
"feminine indifference" in the work of the physicist and philosopher of
nature Johann Wilhelm Ritter. This project is part of a longer book-length
study on models of procreation in literature and scientific discourse
around 1800 (a revision / expansion of her dissertation Poetic Procreation:
Goethe, Novalis, Schlegel, E.T.A. Hoffmann).
Her teaching plans for the next year include courses on
contemporary German culture, romanticism, twentieth century literature
and music, and a comparative literature class on metamorphosis.
